He might not reply here that much but the plugin is getting great support on github

the last release was October 2021 - how is that great support?

I see the issue listed (only it doesn't just take me back to the video menu - it completely crashes Kodi)

i try to play 4k Youtube video on my pc.

Also started getting this error more and more often on 18.9 Leia a while ago, mostly when starting Playback on 720p, going down a quality level fixed playback on most playbacks. Toogle "Ask quality for every playback" is set. Updated Last Weekend to 19.4 matrix an now it is worse. Nearly NO YT Video (mostly Let´s Plays) do not seem to work anymore! :-(
Hopefully, there is a solution to this!

Might be this open issue? 
https://github.com/anxdpanic/plugin.vide...issues/302

I have two Android TV Boxes. Do I need to create two Client API Keys to use the Youtube Addon on each Box ?

No, they can share one.

Thank you

When I add/subscribe a public playlist from another user to my own mediathek, it is not shown in the addon under playlists.
In the web YouTube it is shown.

My workaround for now is to create a new playlist and add all videos from the other playlist manually.

Did I miss any option?

If the current addons version it's correctly configurated it basically works worthily.

At my advise the only the only aspect how the addons need some fix it's on VIDEO BLOCKED by AGE Restiction or other stu**d idea recently things added by youtube.......

Sorry for double post but i don't know because... when try to edit i obtain an error when try to save them... strange.


Anyway i have found another things need to be fix or improve the experience if possible....... the support of "Premiere" Video.

Currently when you found and when you try to reproduce a Video in "Premiere" there's no possible to step backward or step forward during the reproduction. When try to open the video you can only watch the video at current timeline....... during a livestream, if i remember, you can step backward.

I am having an issue where some videos only play in 480p.
I know for a fact that there are higher resolution versions of the videos available, I can pick those when watching through the website, however Kodi only shows the 480p stream available. 

Some videos play just fine in 720p, there seems to be no pattern to it.

Update:
Messing with the bandwidth limits and HDCP settings in InputstreamAdaptive seems to have resolved this issue. No clue why.
